Rainbows End

     Rainbows end hasn't been released as of yet.  I have had the pleasure of watching this movie a few times and hope that my brother does not mind me posting a review here on my blog.  (I will beg forgiveness later)  The movie is about a conglomerate of oddballs from deep East Texas who are traveling for various reasons to California to find their pot of gold and the end of the rainbow.  Characters like Audrey Dean the olden oracle who wears short shorts and walks around town twirling a baton, or Brian the Birdman who just wants to get his roosters into the movie business,  Peter who is stuck in the 70's and is a one man singing sensation, and Country Willie who just wants to sing and play guitar with the Legendary Stardust Cowboy.
     Rainbows end is an up and down thrill ride filmed as if it were a documentary.  Some may say mocumentary, but all of the "acting" is mostly unscripted and the ups and downs of the movie are things that truly happened to this oddball bunch as they traveled across the county.  This is a very low budget movie.  There is no CGI and special effects are left to the musical score.  Most of which are provided by the band in the movie Country Willie and Cosmic Debris.  This a comedy of which few have seen.
    This isn't for the faint of heart.  It isn't a love story and the true meaning of the movie is much deeper than a lot of people expect.  It is a comedy of Epic proportions and the laughs rarely ever stop.  The characters are real.  This may be hard for some people to wrap their minds around this fact but the acting wasn't contrived it was these guys being who they are.  If you love independent films, if you really want to laugh and don't mind a Napoleon Dynamite style of humor than this movie is for you.  If you want to see an action film with fighting scenes and huge amounts of CGI and stunts galore, then well stick around there will always be those but this movie is a one of a kind.  The only thing is now for the movie to be released to the public.  Hopefully this is sooner than later.
